Here is this year's list of Boston-area summer sings! As you can see, there's quite a lot to choose from, and you can sing Fauré's Requiem in particular as many times as your little heart desires. This is a great way to keep in vocal shape over the summer, so get out there and have some fun!

I know I've been falling down a bit with the cat posts (last one was a month ago?!?) but we have an extra-special one today. Thanks to my globe-trotting parents, we've had pictures of Chinese cats and Turkish cats; now we have an Icelandic kitty from my brother and sister-in-law's recent trip to that island!

My brother says, "This cat was hanging out in a sculpture garden, then followed us for a few blocks out of the sculpture garden along with another cat."

There's not a lot going on this weekend - except me! My quartet Anthology will be performing a concert of jazz and folk at the Taylor House B&B tonight (Friday) at 7:30 pm. Come for the music, stay for the incredibly scrumptious spread that Taylor House always puts out for their concerts. Hope to see you there!

And...this will be the last Weekend Concert Calendar until the fall - I'm going on summer vacation. Keep your eye on calendar.boston.com if you want to know what's going on!

I'm working on a comprehensive list of summer sings, but since it's not done yet, I wanted to give you a heads-up about a sing happening tonight! Masterworks Chorale is having their first sing tonight. It's the Brahms Requiem, and it will be at 8 pm at the Noble and Greenough School in Dedham. Check out their summer sings page for more information!

About Me

My name is Allegra Martin, and I am a Boston-area choral conductor and singer. My jobs include: music director of Cantilena, a women's chorale in Arlington; choral conductor at Lasell College and director of the Lasell Village Voices of Experience; and music director of First Parish Cohasset. I sing in the area with Anthology, Schola Cantorum, and anyone who will hire me! I also teach private lessons in sight-reading, theory, and conducting.
